God bless the person who uploaded this music. Growing up in Akure was beautiful with melodious and indigenous songs from Wale Glorious. I listen to them till date. May his soul continue to rest in peace. Great to see youths having abandoned our indigenous songs, let's keep them alive for our kids
For those who know, this is super classic. Bringing up old memories of loved ones, tributes to those that we listened to this great piece but are no more
I wasn't born yet when he waa alive but grew up listening to his music bcos my mum plays the cassette everyday, i can sing the whole album from start to end...as an Akure lady, i appreciate the @egbaalake for uploading these evergreen songs..please make available for download.
Wale Glorious Died in November 1971 at a time his music was gaining international recognition and at that time had few rivals among Juju musicians.His music and songs remain evergreen as they are still being enjoyed in the entertainment arenas,homes,radio stations and ceremonies.May his soul rest in perfect peace,Amen.-engr.mayowa Oyinlade of Osolo Irowo Akure Dynasty.
Jezz!! I wasn't born when nature took this special gift but I remember my dad has all his records and we jam them on the turn table machine. I was so curious one day that I asked Mum while growing up if he was very old when he died.. Wale Glorious RIP
Pa wale Glorious may your gentle soul continue rest in peace 🙏 God bless you the person that uploaded this music, it's so beautiful to come across that song, true I don't know you sir. But I can't do without listen to your song everyday.. may your soul rest in peace sir. Akure missed you
To my mind, Wale Glorious has an impeccable juju vocal style that can only be considered legendary. His clear sonorous voice and free flowing spontaneous leads, even in his time, was rare to find or reproduce making him a shiny juju example. Walata Alata ti e po!!!
thanks for uploading wale glorious songs , I was very young when this great man passed away,we lived beside his house in akure .I knew about his songs after I grew up my mother told me what happened concerning his death wale was not an armed robber,he committed succide inorder to protect his name from robbery allegation.he was being set up.people value names those time not now names are not valued anylonger.pls people should stop calling this man an armed robber.may his soul find peace (amen)
Good music by Late Pa Wale Glorious, he's no more but he left his music to bless the world...My late dad made me love him so much..happy to come across this. Kudos!
Hummmm, What a wrong decision you took, Okelisa People and Akure in general will always remember you, very big thanks to pa Akinyemi who rush you to hospital that fatefull day but it was too late. tanks to the person that make this music available.
I do much appreciate your efforts and sense, bringing our memory back to our great only proud of Akure Land and talented musician of our time by then Wale Glorious may his soul rest in perfect peace. May God bless you who ever uploaded this music thank you
This negative comments are not only ridiculous but outright shameful, This Iconic musician died from jaundice fever in Akure general Hospital. This is a fact that is not disputable and I happen to be a distance relative of this GEM of a music talent from Akure
One of my favourite juju muscians.Very talented, but didn't have the kind of exposure the likes of Sunny and Obey had.He equally ended tragically.He was alleged to have been involved in armed robbery and due to the shame,he committed suicide.
His friends used his vehicle in committing a crime. He was absolved of any participation, but he was gone. He was an honorable man. So sad we lost him so soon.
It’s very hurtful to me, that this kind of wicked and unsubstantiated allegations can be made about him. Please, to all God fearing people outside there. This talented Akure son did not involve himself in any kind criminal activities talk less of armed robbery. Daddy had a liver disease for about 12 months before he passed away. It will relieved him for a week or two and relapsed again. The last time I set my eyes on him. He came to visit his good friend. Uncle Saka Olugosi(Local Kingsway) beside baba Kikiowo’s house. He drove his band’s Land Rover on that day. Already the disease had taken tows on him. He was very lean and tired. Few weeks later, daddy was rushed to Akure General Hospital and he died there. He didn’t commit suicide. He didn’t poison himself. Please, for God’s sake. What then happened to the robbery case? Did the police of 1971 dropped the case because Wale glorious died? What about those band members who used the Land Rovers to commit robbery? Did they die also? Or they let them go away free? What a wicked world! But I don’t think so. Daddy will never commit suicide because of someone else’s criminal offense. I was about 11 years old when he died. My mom told me, he died of this sickness. They were close relatives at Oke Lisa. I was even living with sister Aduke. Daddy Wale glorious’ junior sister at Aiyedun quarter in Akure. Please, I’m pleading with everyone that are carrying all these wicked and ungodly rumors about him to drop it. God bless you IJN.
Without meaning to offend anyone, this man looks nothing like a armed robber or any violent offender, if indeed this is his picture. His music is very distinct, though it also sounds like a hybrid of I.K. Dairo and Dele Ojo. Again, no offense intended here since I don't know who preceded who among these three. Much thanks EgbaAleke for posting this wonderful Juju song.
sirfemo According to records. He actually senior those two great guys mentioned and in what age will you people of this miserable world stop judging people with their looks. And for your information he’s nothing close to those violent mentioned he actually took his own life because of his two friends at that time used his car for robbing. He killed himself when he heard the story but at the end of the story the two guys claimed he didn’t know anything about their crimes but it was too late. He was a good singer and a good father.
What's this kind of negative comment all about? Kicking a dead man in his grave? There is no fact to your story. You gotta understand that an unverified story/ incident is nothing but a RUMOUR. Remember, Wale Glorious has Children, grand and probably great grand children. How would this comment make them feel? We have to be sensitive how we talk about others especially those who have passed on. I'm pulling you up with love, and not putting you down. God Bless.
nawa for people posting stupid comments about this man, pls wetin be armed robber ?he sings in akure dialect, so tell me the similiarity btw wale glorious akure accent and i.k dairo or dele ojo 's .pls get ur fact right at sirfemo,your comment is bad.
some Yoruba people are so bad even in death they still insult wale glorious integrity. this song was my mum's favourite over 4 decades ago... its still unique ,subtle and gloriously indegenious, bad belle people ..just shut up.
I grew up to love Wale Glorious songs with passion just as l did with Dele Ojo and lk Dairo. songs. l don't think there was anybody from his birth place or area at that time who would say that he didn't love his songs very much. Of course, there was a lot of similarities between Dele Ojo, lK Dairo and Wale Glorious songs. This is understandable in view of the fact that the three had similar background because of their common origin. For example, Dele Ojo was an indigene of llara mokin, in Akure division. Akure people as well as llara Mokins are 100% Ekitis by an undisputable facts of history. The language or accent testifies to this fact. And Dele Ojo never hid this fact in his songs. As for Ik Dairo, he was an ljesa man. Tell me the difference between ljesas and Ekitis, then l would ask you to tell me why ljesas had to team up with Ekitis to fight lbadan during the Kiriji war and immediately their teaming up was achieved, the two groups name was changed to EKITI PARAPO! (ie EKITI UNITED). Our children must begin to be encouraged to learn history.
